This is about riding the waves and getting into the competition for something you love
this presentation will explain what happens in the story and it will so the main ideas that I thought were important hope you enjoy my last posts for the year as I move on to college or highschool

“lights” “pulse” “panic! what's going with me” I said as I thought about standing on a stage in front of heaps of people “ herrrr can’t believe that I asked to do this” “OMG”. Then Chelsea, my best friend in the whole world walks in “ Sarah it’s time for you to go presenters were asked to line up 2 minutes ago what wrong” “nothing just washing my face let’s go”. The sore stomach had kick in, like a monster that had just been woken up from a hundred years of migration “aww”.

On the bus finally with all my friend making me feel less terrified of stage and lights I put a smile on my face and was going to fake till I had made it. At Sylvia Park hoyts cinema, everything was going well until I saw the spot light that made everyone see you on the stage. Being a presenter was the hardest thing ever.

The first presenters were my friends Jordan and josephine they made it look so easy and for a good reason there movie was great, but I knew that once there movie had finished my presenter buddy and myself was up next and the terror flushed through me like a drink of orange juice, but my buddy Liz told me that your blinded by the light you can’t even see anyone, that made me feel better and before I knew it was over and done with and I was on the seats watching everyone else movie’s.

After and hour in a hot and mugie theater everyone that was going back to school was outside in the icy winds waiting for the bus to come. A group of friend and myself were sitting with the little presenters playing hand games while keeping each other warm.

When the bus came I quickly snuck on to the bus with my friends and went back to school with her. After we were back at home Mrs Tele’a got us to watch other schools movies and comment on their blogs to give them some feed back the day was awesome and we finished it of with a song in the afternoon.

This is my reading activity for week 6 it about a man and is tupuna and how when he was younger a hawk flew over the pa as a sign of him being a visionary and being able to see things that aren't really there, in this story there's a kite and well you have to read the story to believe this so here is the link to the story read it and explore.

There were challenges like the fear factor, the cookie challenge, the pea pipes, the brain busters and the photo booth. Four were chosen for your group, for my group the challenges were number 1, the cookie challenge, number 2, the pea pipes, number 3, the fear factor and last the brain busters. All trickie and disgusting but fun at the same time.

The first challenge to face was the cookie, the cookie challenge was were you would put the cookie on your forehead and within a minute you would have to get it too your mouth without using your hands. I thought the task would have been easy but time after time me and my friends would fail, expect 1 Uli the boy who would eat any thing on his face, every time he would try he would get it I didn’t know how he did it every time.

2nd best challenge was simple you get a straw get a pea to stay on the end of it and take 3 meters away without it falling to the ground easy right, WRONG it turns out that other people bumping into you on there way back to the bowl would make it fall and you start again. I made it every time from one bowl to another without failure. The other three in my group were good but I thought we were the best untill one and only one in our team was to cheat Hiwarau, he would pick some peas up and then put one on the end of his straw and the when he got to the other bowl he would put them in to help us win but the teacher saw and so by default we lost angrily we went to the next challenge fear factor were we would face the fear of yuck spaghetti and fruit salad.

It’s true what your thinking why would we eat grouse food simple to get points and no the spaghetti didn’t have mold on it, it was mixed with a tin of fruit salad yuck right. Before we got to that we had a choice to make who was going to eat the dry weat-bix decisions were made to vote three votes were to me the only girl to try eat a dry weat-bix “oh well” as I walked up to the front “piece of cake” and man was I wrong it was as dry as the sand at a dessert or of chipped wood put in the sun I mean it was bad, a minute late it was gone I didn’t win all I got was a sore throat that only water could fix. before long 2 were picked to do the yuckiest of all, the spaghetti and fruit salad. Again I was picked with Hiwarau and to make it easier we decided that he was going to eat the spaghetti and I was going to eat the fruit. It tasted awful I wanted to vomit. In the end we lost but the fun was all that matters.

Now the moment I was waiting for Brain Busters the easiest one of all,

the first question was easy we flew through it in a jippy and we got our next question and with this one man did our smiles fly of our faces, how on earth are you ment to have a triangle with nine circles and each side would have to equal 17 only using 1 to 9 numbers and your not aloud to use the number more than once. How on earth are you ment to do that. Difficulty everyone in our group tried and failed so much for smarts.

We failed pretty much at every task that lied ahead of us yesterday but we didn’t care. The fun for us was all that matters for our team the points were nothing the fun was everything.

Sitting outside starbucks drinking a nice hot chocolate, under a constant cover of clouds and chilling winds in Sylva Park, waiting for the hoyts cinemas alarm to tick on my phone. The time went slow but after just getting comfy “ding” goes the alarm and i’m off for a great movie “dracula”.

On the way to the movie I had noticed that my bag of goodies had gone, so I was of to starbucks to see if anyone had picked it up. Thankfully after a long walk back, I asked a lady at the counter if she had seen a bag with things in it that was suitable for a movie then she disappeared below the counter and with a struggle she lifted my bag onto the counter, “few thank you” I was so happy and the the alarm on my phone went off again this time with only five minutes to go as I left I yelled “thanks” and dashed for the hoyts.

Finally after a long run back I had made it through the doors and into the screening room.

The movie was great right from the start but very loud. After the movie I went to the food court to have dinner and then I went to the train station to catch the 8:15 train home.

while I was on the train I went to listen to my Ipod and it was gone out of my back pocket,

the next thing I knew I was having a big worry fit trying to think back to when I last had it thinking thinking “man it was in the cinemas” so I text my dad and said I was going to be late home and to see if he could pick me up when I text next his reply was always “yes”.

I raced back to the cinema and asked to look for my ipod that I had left in cinema 4 from the last movie lucky they let me. I should had known it wasn’t there all that was left was my headphones so someone had picked it up ‘bummer” I said as I walked out.

At the carpark waiting for my dad to come the lady that was sitting next to me came up to me and handed my my purple Ipod, I was stunned “Thank you a million times” was my reply she was happy she found me and offered to wait with me until my dad picked.

When he got there we said our goodbyes and left soon to meet again.

On the way home I told my dad what happened he said “I was lucky she was so nice”.

In the end I got my Ipod back and in the future I hope it never happens again.

It was February the 14th, Valentine's day and everyone in my class was making cards. The girls were graciously dancing around the room knowing that it was Valentine's day the most romantic day of the year. Out of the blue everyone started talking about their plans for Valentine's day, suddenly the girls at the table looked straight at me, with a sour look on their faces, the girl to right of me asked

“so who’s your valentines this year Sarah”

My reply was simply “my best friend”

The girls started laughing at me, really the boy you've been friends with since kindergarten “yeah we do it every year” I replied.

“Ever since we met we've done It you just don’t get it”

The girls looked away in disappointment, we have the same argument every year and it’s alway over “Jacob” maybe they like him or maybe they think I like him but the only liking there getting from me is the likement of friendship. Just then I see him with all his other friends I hear him tell them to wait and then when the girls see him, they start trying to get their hair ready like girls cursing over the cutest guy in school “OMG” I said. Just then I glance over and he’s almost here I quickly hide my card and his present, “hi I made you this” he said

“Thanks” just then I see him look down and see a box with his card on it “ is this for me” “yeah I was just waiting to give it to you”

he opened the box and saw the present I got him “you shouldn't have” “ know but I thought I was better than just a plain old card every year” “ but know I look stupid because your present was just the card I’ll get you something else” “no it’s fine” “are you sure” “ yes know go there waiting”

Later that day, Jacob rang me asking if I was still going to Valentines for dinner with my family I said “yes” and he asked to come I asked my mum she said “yes”

I text him and said to meet at my house by 4pm. On the way to Valentines my phone was going plastic from all the texts from Jacob, he was so nervous because my dad was coming and they had never meet him. Because of my he and my mum split when I was born.

When we got there Jacob sat down and then what I was hoping would never happen happened my dad started talking to Jacob and all the question came out like “were he was from” and “how old he was”. Things were getting weird so I called my dad to get some food with me. Well we were gone my dad started asking question about me and how me and Jacob meet, my reply was as simple as pie “when we were younger and we’ve been friend ever since” My dad was surprised to see that I was quick and confident to defend my best friend, my dad's face still thinking of something to respond back with “oh so your just friends that's it right” quick responce to say “yes”. The awkward walk back to the table was silent.

The table was scattered with food that was left over, Jac and I were the ones to clean up and order the drinks. The rest of the night was a flow, filled with small talk and chit chat.

My cousin was look out side with wonder, I asked if I could take her to the window at the front of the restaurant to look and the night sky. When we got to the window and looked out the night sky was filled of the of glowing light that reflected on the sky like a mirror.

Then on the way back to the table, I slipped on my dress and ripped one off the pieces off it, luckily my cousin never got hurt because she was in my arms, just then I look over and see everyone laughing at me at that moment I was embarrassed but now I look back at that moment and laugh. After that we all decided to go after the goodbyes in the carpark.

The drive home was long and loud, everyone was talk and singing alone to the music playing on the radio, Jac had finally come out of his shell of shyness and my worries were gone about my dad and him. The next day school was a bress and the time at valentines was awesome.

This is about Charities who have volunteers who put their life on hold to help save others that have bad illnesses, and need a little help or need some cheering up in there life. So this is my research on so charities that I support and share my money with, I hope you enjoy my learning about these Charities who support New Zealand.

Just then I glance over and he’s almost here I quickly hide my card and his present, “hi I made you this” he said

“Thanks” just then I see him look down and see a box with his card on it “ is this for me” “yeah I was just waiting to give it to you”

he opened the box and saw the present I got him “you shouldn't have” “ know but I thought I was better than just a plain old card every year” “ but know I look stupid because your present was just the card I’ll get you something else” “no it’s fine” “are you sure” yes know go there waiting” “okay are we still on for game night?”

“yeah of course”.

As soon as he walked away the girls sighed, Rachel said “ Sarah what's wrong with you?”

“Nothing why” “ you’ve got to be kidding me there was your chance” “ a chance for what Rachel” “to ask him out” “Rachel I thought I made It clear I don’t like him like that”

“ Lier” I look away way then Shaniah looks at Rachel “ Hey you know if she says she doesn't like him like that she doesn't maybe you should just leave her alone”

“ fine I should ask him out then” I was just sick of it “ i’m going outside for air”

Rachel must have left we I went outside because I over heard her talk to my best friend

She’s asking him out I can’t believe he said yes.

Later that afternoon I got a text saying he’s had to cancel the game night because he was going out to the movies with someone he never said who and that's not like him.

The next day at school neither he or Rachel were at school and he never misses school for anything. A few days passed things were getting strange we hadn't spoken to each other for days now it was getting weird I called him to see if he wanted to hang out but he said he was busy and hung up. The next day he was at school so was Rachel she was at the lunch table talking to all my friend about her time with Jac I was so mad. As I walked over to her she had a worried look on her face like someone was going to hit her or something but i simply said “look I don’t mind if you and Jac are going out but you shouldn’t stop him from hang out from others and stop trying to change him” the girls just looked at me frantically overjoyed that I had finally said something Rachel just looked at me with a surprised look on my face “your right I was just doing it to get back at you for what happened in the test, truth is I don’t even like Jac i’m breaking it off with him”

“you know you don’t have to do that he likes to trust me I should know”

as she replied he looked over at me with a smile but I quickly turn back to Rachel.

After me and Rachel sorted things out I went and talked to Jac and now we’re better friend than before. That afternoon we went to the movies and then went to my house for dinner, I was glad we were talking again and Rachel and I were friends again.

Link to my Google drawingThis winter it is easy for you to get sick. Just one sneeze can make multiple people sick. We all know that the cold doesn't’ help, but by dressing warm and eating well, we can stay right. In New Zealand more than 300 people are hospitalized with chest infections, ear infections and pneumonia. These are all bad and like a domino it affects all people. This explanation will explain to you how to prevent yourself from getting sick. Food is a big part of keeping yourself well, getting 5+ a day is the ideal way of making sure you are getting the vitamin C you need to stay well. We all need to eat the right foods like, salad, meat and vegetables. If you are a person that goes to KFC and Mcdonalds and eats fatty foods and high carb foods there’s a big chance of getting sick. Personal hygiene is a big part of keeping well. Keeping yourself nice and clean is 100% ideal if you want to prevent sickness. Showering, washing your hands and brushing your teeth are always good to keep well and right.Another way is getting the flu shot. All it is, is a small injection of the flu to get your immune system ready for the flu so when it comes it doesn't knock you down. The best place to go for it is the doctors or the local meddie lab where you can go in and get it, it cost nothing.

Everyone gets sore throats but don't tell their doctors or parents. This can corse the most dangerous sickness of all Rheumatic fever. If you get Rheumatic fever you could die or it could lead to heart disease. This is why you need to keep yourself from getting sick by eating right, keeping clean, getting the flu shot and staying right.So next time you feel like you're getting sick tell your doctor or parents and get it sorted out, so follow the steps to staying well.

Yesterday we had the Miss Universe NZ Contestants come to Pt England School, they came to talk to us about being enterprising and working hard. Out of 20 we had 16 come to our school and tell us about what they did in life and what they would like to become in the world. My favorite pageant was Hannah Henderson she's a surf instructor and loves the outdoors.

These girls are all in a competition to win best pageant in the world, today there of to Manilla the capital of Philippines to challenge each other. Once the winner is declared all the winners from each country would come together and challenge each other to become the best in the world.They inspire and the world better hope for the best.

Jacob the great is about a kid who is spoiled rotten always getting what he wants and never thinks about the cost and other people's money or needs apart from his own. Personally i would hate to live with someone like that but it's the way the story is I hope you get what I did in the questions and slides.
